The driver was written by Wolfgang Stanglmeier <wolf@dentaro.GUN.de> and me. It compiles under any of the BSDs, but will become part of NetBSD-1.0 and FreeBSD-2.0. New features are support for both the 53c810 and the 53c825, and the latter with WIDE SCSI support. A new version of the sources for FreeBSD-1.1 and will be put into the archive sites this weekend (*still* have to update the INSTALL docs): FTP.Uni-Koeln.DE:packages/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI and Freefall.CDROM.Com:pub/FreeBSD/PCI-SCSI There is a FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 GENERIC boot floppy (kcopy_nc.flp.gz) and the driver sources (scsi-ncr-2.1.tar.gz). If you already have FreeBSD installed and running, then you only have to get the sources.
